A move which should surprise no one, it turns out that the new Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem smartphone game releases will both follow the “freemium” route that Nintendo aimed to avoid.
We can only assume that their aim was skewed by all the sweet, sweet Miitomo money they’ve been raking in.
This particular game model has received a lot of flak when games have been deemed as too “pay-2-win” but if Nintendo can strike the right balance then they should be able to make a killing.
Let’s hope these two new titles don’t follow the old adage of free-to-play
